In a deeply emotional moment, Magda, an Indian elephant, mourned the sudden death of her lifelong companion, Jenny, in Russian-occupied Crimea. The pair had performed together for over 25 years before retiring to Taigan Safari Park. Jenny collapsed earlier this week, leaving Magda visibly devastated. She gently nudged Jenny, tried to lift her, and later stood in silent grief, refusing to let veterinarians approach. Witnesses described her sorrow as she spent hours by Jenny’s body. The duo had been retired in 2021 after dramatic incidents in Kazan, where they fought in the ring and later injured their trainer. Despite past tensions, their bond remained strong. Magda’s display of grief highlights the profound emotional depth of elephants, reinforcing calls for better treatment of performing animals.
